    The document discusses the myth that humans only use 10% of their brain. It presents an experiment that measured brain activity in different areas while people engaged in various activities like dancing, singing, and painting. The results found higher percentages of brain activity, such as 80% of the brain being active when dancing. The conclusion is that humans likely use more than 10% of their brain based on these measurements of brain activity during different tasks.

    OF OUR BRAIN?
    By Yanela 4ºB
    INTRO
    • Only the neurons are a 10%, there are areas more activated tan
    others, but that doesn´t mean we don´t use all of them.
    HYPOTHESIS
    • Is true that we only use a 10% of our brain?
    EXPERIMENT
    • Test people doing different activities, and measuring the brain activity.

    Person 1 dancing 80% The two hemispheres

    Person 2 singing 35% dorsal laryngeal motor
